Long-time fishing columnist calls it a career
While the name of our fishing column has changed a few times over the years, the author of our monthly column has not. For nearly 30 years, our angling expert and enthusiast, Dan Armitage, has been contributing to PDB magazine and has provided countless fishing tips while entertaining us with his humor. With a new year comes a new direction and Dan has decided to spend (even) more time fishing and is stepping down as our regular columnist.
Dan has been a prized catch for us and he will surely be missed. Enjoy retirement my friend, you’ve earned it after a successful career in the boating industry.
Dan has always been good about promoting Pontoon & Deck Boat magazine, as well as sister publications from Harris Publishing.
Over the years, Dan’s wife Maria and their son Ethan appeared in many photos as his models to demonstrate specific fishing tips or fun catches.
Besides writing, Dan was a regular at the boat shows all over the country. He especially loved teaching and getting the younger generation hooked on fishing or if nothing else, he knew how to make the children laugh.
